Back in 1993 when Bob Backland came back to WWE/WWF I thought it was stupid to bring back this wrestler who last wrestled in the WWE 9-10yrs earlier and that he was to old to wrestle. Now we look at Goldberg who hadn’t wrestled in 12yrs and was 9yrs older than Bob Backland and most fans did’t really think nothing of it. Goldberg had to do months of training to get into ring shape and if you know anything about Bob Backland (which I didn’t in 93 as I only started watching WWE in 86) you would know he didn’t need to train to get into ring shape and that even though he’s about 66yrs old now he’s in fantastic shape for a man in his 40’s let alone in his mid 60’s. And another thing is Bob is not a man to be messed with, I remember Kevin Nash talking about Bob Backland saying Bob didn’t like a certain wrestler (I’m trying to think who it is, I want to say Shawn Michaels but I can’t imagine Nash saying this about HBK) in his second run in WWE when playing his Mad Bob Backland character and didn’t want to wrestle this person as Bob said he would stretch this guy and Nash said “you don’t wanna mess with Bob as he’s a badass and all man”. Bob won state (that’s a definite) and possible national amateur wrestling championship winner with Jeff Jarrett saying he has the best cardio I’ve seen when talking about him in 93-95 time Jeff was in WWE

@Mr_Oggie
Жыл бұрын
This list is "pushed at the wrong time" whereas what you are describing would more be "Wrestlers who are pushed all the time" or "Wrestlers WWE keeps on pushing but aren't getting over" But that said, realistically she is always in the title picture because its just the nature of WWE's womens division: they have two women's titles but they only have a small number of women who are main eventers and really belong in the title scene... yes, we did see recent champs like Liv Morgan or Nikki Cross and while it was great to see them win the title when they did win it was pretty much already time to take the belt off them. And thats all just because of bad booking from WWE for the women - Bayley is a good example of this: she came back as a faction leader, immediately was butting heads with Becky Lynch and she should have gone in to the upper card and women's champion scene... but instead they've portrayed her as a loser who is leading a faction of losers that don't even know how to cheat to win properly.

Imagine if you will, an alternate timeline where Roman betrayed The Shield instead of Seth. He becomes the mailed fist of The Authority as his family is the most trusted by the company and that's "best for business." Slowly, HHH and Stephanie start taking him for granted. Any failure gets him chastised and humiliated. Imagine the pop when he finally has enough and superman punches HHH in the middle of the ring. Authority surrounds the ring with heels next week as Roman stands at the entrance. Usos join him. Rollins and Ambrose join him. It's on!

Theory is incredible, but, as much as I love him, he was shaky on the mic at times in 2022. His best promo was after the failed cash in though when they had him beat the living hell out of Seth. That made me believe they werent just gonna bury him, and I predicted the Cena match 6+ months before anyone else did, because he literally is the next Cena, except with indie wrestling skills. Cena had minimal in ring skills for most of his career but, was an amazing SPORTS ENTERTAINER! Combine the two? Well, you'd have someone like Randy Orton or Daniel Bryan, the complete package of wrestling and mic skills.

Roman is still being pushed hard…almost to the point that WWE as a whole is terrified of taking the undisputed title off him. I think that was evident from the showing at Wrestlemania with Cody’s loss and Triple H’s piss poor “the story is never over” excuse. Don’t get me wrong I’m not taking anything from Reigns…he’s done amazing work as the head of the table but we need more main title competitors like back in the attitude era days. There are several wrestlers who can compete and win at that level so Reigns keeping the belts for so long as a part timer doesn’t make any sense to me.
@Mr_Oggie
Жыл бұрын
I wouldn't care if Roman was SmackDown champ for 1000+ days or whatever record they are going to go with, its that he has both belts tied up and is a part timer: I like to see at least one of the main titles defended on evert PPV/PLE - it just makes the matches more exciting and interesting when there is championship gold to be fought over. Backlash is coming up and they've already said Roman won't be there... if he wasn't holding both belts we could have had a main title match like a champion Cody defending against Bobby, Brock, Gunther, Drew or Sheamus... or Drew vs Sheamus fighting for the title... or Bobby Lashley vs Brock fighting over a belt
